Hi,
I think it would be a good idea if it's possible to use observium without dns, or to overwrite the hostname used to get snmp data. I have some devices with internal and external IP adresses, and I'd like to use the internal IP for polling, but the external hostname for the device itself.
Comments?
Regards, Patrick

Install a local DNS server at your Observium host, with a 'fake' zone containing your internal IP addresses, and point /etc/resolv.conf to 127.0.0.1
Or, use /etc/hosts todo this!

I know that it's possible this way. Bit it's quite dirty.

Using ip address also dirty, especially if its ipv6. :-D

since when is using a config like it's meant to be used considered 'dirty' ? Oo
/etc/hosts exists for exactly this reason. statically map ips -> hostnames...
